One of the worst kept secrets in the NFL this season was the Miami Dolphins' planned logo change. Hints to near confirmations throughout the year from CEO Mike Dee, kept the fans abuzz about what could be getting ready to come out of Davie. Yesterday, owner Stephen Ross confirmed what everyone already knew: the Dolphins will have a new logo in 2013.

I pretty much always like the old logos better (Bring back the foppish Buccaneer! And the Patriots tri-corner hat hiking the football guy) but I understand why corporations like to update. And it's not like the old stuff ever goes away any more, in this era of vintage everything.

And yea, that was exactly my first thoughts. Yay, an airliner. Not a fear-inspiring logo. At all. With all the think tanks and agencies out there, they could have come up with a lot better ones, even with such a weak appearing animal as the dolphin.

Yeah, but new logos and unis mean new revenue as everybody runs out to buy the new crap.

As always, it's all about the Benjamins.

I like a lot of the new logos and colors. Makes the older ones cool by default, even when some of them were not. But this one is not a step in the right direction. Unless they want the announcers to keep screwing up and calling the cheerleaders stewardesses.

You know, I agree, something should be done in Miami to revitalize the franchise, but to me, somehow it seems sacrilegious to change it. The ONLY perfect team wore that Logo. I was just a kid then, but I remember the Marino teams as well when they were relevant, and going up against them with Dave Krieg. I just think it would be wrong to do that to a franchise with a proud history like they have.

That literally made me laugh for a few minutes. I scrolled down fast and it's almost like the dolphin popped out of nowhere.

A couple things: I think the new logo looks like an SB Nation Dolphins fansite logo. I do like it. I also like most of the new logos. This current generation dolphins logo is leaps and bounds better than the last one that just looked like the wrinkly last pickle in the jar.

For those who talk about it not being threatening or fearsome: Is a Dolphin (without a gun) really that threatening?
